Opium Pour Homme

Opium Pour Homme is a rich, spicy Oriental fragrance with a deep and intoxicating opening centered on black currant and star anise, which is both a bold and controversial note. Many users describe it as a narcotic, potent, and sensual scent with a unique fluidity—moving from an initial piercing, fruity-oriental brilliance to a warm, vanilla-laced dry down with cedar and balsam notes. The fragrance evolves subtly, gaining complexity over time, with a warm, sweet, balsamic foundation that lingers like a draping cloak. While some note that the longevity and projection have diminished compared to vintage versions, it remains notably long-lasting in colder months. The scent is best enjoyed in the autumn or winter, especially on cool evenings or in dark, formal settings, with a moderate to strong sillage and a rich, velvety texture that feels luxurious and deeply masculine.
